The small summer cabin is built on a steep rocky site at Nipe in Risør, southern Norway.

Restrictions on the site limited the cabin to one floor. Rather than ruining the worn rock to create an even site, the one floor was raised on concrete pillars, – some thin and some hollow. This way the site was left with its original landscape, and the underside of the house came in handy for purposes such as storage, hot tub and hammocks as well as creating the main entrance.

The cabin contains of three bedrooms, a bathroom, a multipurpose room including a kitchen area and a fireplace both indoors and outdoors.
